"happiness to this family,” were torn 
away and new ones put in their 
places, old and young dressed them- 
selves in their best clothing, feas ted 
ami kept holiday. They" reasoned 
thus : As the-plague was. declared to 
lie this year, by their declaring the 
old year out and the new one iu they 
would he Iii a fair way of getting the 
best of the plague god by gelling 
ahead of him, and'thus cheating h iu. 
And so we find them always trying 
to cheat their gods. They never offer 
them any pure silver or gold: t is all 
tin foil and glitters like gold and 
I sliver ‘If they offer their gods food 
or fruit it is only left before them a 
few minutes, and then it is removed. 
They tlie worshipers, feast upon it 
amfhftve a gay 'time, hut tWjnJhis 
presence. They take tlie offerings in- 
to another room or 'behind a door 
, where tlie god pan not sop them. 

In Japan whim the worshiper goes 
i before l lip god to worship lie pulls a 
i rope or cord whUh is near tlie body, 
i and immediately claps his hands as 
loudlv as he can to wake him tip if

—The Bishop of Liverpool is one. 
of the most evangelical and catholic- 
spirited of Anglican divines. He 
preached some time ago in a Presby- 
terian Church ‘and raised, a buzz 
around his .ecolesiastloal ears. He 
now cOmes out in an address and 
says unless Bishops are treated, witjh 
' more fairness and consideration, soon 
no right-minded and high-souled 
man, who loves direct spiritual work 
and, hates wasting precious time in 
strife, will consent to be a Blsbop at 
all. As the author of a popular 
series of religious tracts Bishop Ryle 
is best known. Such an evangelical 
Christian must be annoyed by the 
Romanising party of his church. 

It will be remembered that he wrote 
President Charles Garrett, of the 
Wesleyan Conference, a very fra- 
ternal letter more than a year ago on 
the "occasion of his election. We 
•honor him for his ty^JdlXcatholipity 
and Christian courage. A few more

— The particulars of the double 
tradegy in „ Yazoo City, Miss., are 
enougli tamake every citizen shud- 
der with shathe and sorrow. On the 
night (if December 24 three white 
men were killed and two others 
wounded in an encounter with a 
squad of negroes. The diffl'-ulty was 
not the result of race or political 
prejudice, but, from what we can 
gather, was the bloody work of mean 
whisky.-;. The first’-: trouble occurred 
.In.a salami- between one QLU’.e. white 
men and a negro. He went oil*, sum- 
moned other friends, and returned 
only to meet his death. The negroes 
were promptly urrested and lodged 
In jail. Two public .Tuectings'of tic 
citizens were held when it was deter- 
mined .that the prisoners should have 
a fair trial in the courts. But on 
Saturday night, the twenty-ninth 
ultimq, aufarmed body of men over- 
powered the jailor and lynched four 
negroes. Buch violence is a stigma 
upon any community and demands 
condemnation-. There is no apology- 
for this second • outrage however 
dreadful the llrst. Every law-abiding 
citizen is vitallly concerned to know 
who were the . lynchers. Nothing is 
so shocking to our civilization as. the 
tyranny of lynch law. 


bring unfeigned sorrow to every 
Mississippi Methodist, is the burn* 
ing of the entire manuscript records 
of the Mississippi Conference from 
the first Informal session In 1813 to 
the one just closed, inclusive. As 
secretary I have bpi-ii preserving 
them \wAh fond ckfe for eighteen 
years, but, alas! the ruthless flames 
had no regard for the precious relics 
of other years. -• 

It is a great comfort in our calam- 
ity to find such universal sympathy 
expressed for us by tire kind, noble 
people of this city. Numerous doors 
are thrown open to give us shelter 
and a home, and our special friends 
and relatives, Dr. James M. Hunt 
and wife, insist that it is their right 

andhave generously taken. UH .aJ l.mtn 

the hearty hospitality of their ele- 
gant home. Articles of wearing ap- 
parel and money have been freely 
supplied, The kind ladies are busy 
plying their machines to supply 
their needy sisters with something 
to wear, and one .thoughtful ’and 
liberal gentleman, friend, the only 
one", by the way, in tile city who 
rises high enough to do such a tiling, 
has fitted me to'an entire suit of his 
owh clotlies. 

Not" only members of -our .own 
church have been prompt and liberal 
in supplying our wants, but even 
those who before were comparative 
.strangers to us have warmed our 
hearts by their sympathetic and 
valued attention. We feel profound- 
ly grateful to eaclt and al 1/ ■>[, our 
benefactors, and do earnesUy invoke 
God’s choicest blessings to rest upon 
them. 

It is with a crippled and half-dazed 
kind of feeling that we look out upon 
the -future. Oh!- -if God will only 
verify his promise that these light 
afflictions, whicii are but for a mo- 
ment, will work out for us a far more 
exceeding and eternal weight of 
glory, we will strive, from the depths 
of our tSonseiousness, to say : “Thy 
will be done.”

Mit F.ihtor : The house we re- 
sided in was burned this morning 
about three o'clock. We barely 
esoaped with our lives with only the 
Clothes in which we were sleeping. 
How the fire originated we do not 
know, only that it was>'eomiiiuui- 
cated to our house from .the tenement 
adjoining. But for the providential 
awakening pf.Mrs. Kearney, my 
wife’s mother, we would doubtless 
all have been burned to death. Bhe 
herself came very near perishing; 
one 'moment more and sufioeation 
would have been complete, l'or a 
time we feared that she had Inhaled 
the flames, but now find tliat she lias 
escaped with-one hand and h§f face 
burned not very severely. None of 
the rest of us, wife, live chtldreu and 
self, were hurt, Devout thanks be 
unto our God foreyer aud forever. 

It is hard to realize that our, earths 

Iy store lias been swept away in one 

hour, and' tliat we have absolutely 
nothing of personal property save 
the following articles, which were 
rescued, viz ; one piano, two center- 
tables, one writing-desk, the dishes 
and plates which remained oft the 

table from the evening meal, and a 
portion of tlie silver 'spoons and 
forks, Fortunately I ipyself had not 
much money, .as I generally find an 
urgent demaifd for it as soon as it 
comes. In hand ; , but my wife had 
been saving up little' sums- for a 
special purpose until it aggregated 
quite a little amount, but this; to- 
gether with jewelry and trinkets of 
her girlhood, as also three gold 
watphes, one of them an heirloom, 
was consumed.

This is to remind you tliat, i>y tlie 
action of the committee at our la«t. 
Conference, it is made tlie duty of the 

District Committees to make.arrangC- 

menta for carryiug out tlie plan pro- 
posed by the Central Committee in 
their respective districts. / 

1. They are to determine when and 
where mass meetings shall be held, 
and make all necessary arrangements 
for complete success. 

2. It is made their duty to deter- 
mine in what month collectlons.slittll 
bff taken up in every congregation in 
the district. 

3. They are to determine what day 
shall be devoted to tlie children, and 
make all necessary arrangements for 
the success of that part of the work. 

4. They are to ^e tliat special cen- 

tennial services are held on the fourth" 
Sunday iu May throughout the dis- 
trict. - \ 

I would puggest that thtse commit- 
tees meet at an early day and begin 
the work as soop as practicable. The 
presiding- elders will sdnd names to 
Dr. Harrison, secretary of Central 
Committee, to fill vacancies that may 
have been caused b^ythe change of

This is a "story of a sea-port town., 
The scene is laid in Landsport, which 
is readily recognized as Portland— the 
Portland of other years. It is indeed a 
charming book, full of incidents and 
I revolutions .characteristic of the time 
and place. What a grand time the boys 
did have! While reading it, w.e almost 
wish our lot had fallen among the 
scenes ami sports of those days. One 
reviewer ol the volume lias well said, 
“While seeking to entertain, Mr. FI well

• (Tliirty-8‘’VojiU» Letter.) 

My Dear Young Friends: 1 am 
going to toll you something more of 
this peculiar people. Home twelve 
Years ago- the lloods in the north of 
China were said to in 1 so severe as to 
cover more than twenty thousand 
square miles, it is said this year to 
he much worse. Ruined villages and 
croiw-.are to be seen .on every hand,, 
amitlie people in maiiy places are in 
a ntarvlng con<iit.iou.‘ (Jreat crowns 
of homeless and-foodless refugees arc 
seen wandering about in every direc- 
tion. During the last twenty years 
many calamities have fallen upon the 
city of Tientsin rat'd the surrounding 
country. Twice or three times dur- 
ing ilia- 

city lias been burned. In lst>2 HQt 
less than. twenty thousand of-the in- 
hahitants wefe carried, oil' by cholera. 
In 1863 tiie insurgents came down 
upon them and did a good deal ol. 
damage- all though ■ the country, 
though .they did not take the city. 
Iu 1X61 the English and French occu- 
pied the city and took possession. of! 
the city. of Peking, ami in ls.71 they 
luid tlieir detune of water upon them, 
mid now, 1883, tiie lloods seem about 
to be more severe than ever before. 

* Many Chinese are asking, W hat does 
ad this mean? Tltere are liuntlreds 
aud tliousands perishing from hunger, 
mnhforced to eat tile leaves and. bark 

* of trees 


disappear i(t leisure, add had other 
dragons tQ. r pqeompany it. This was 
made kno&n to tiie Chinese authori- 
ties at Tientsin, and they began to] 
inapit preparations to receive .the ■ 
"dragon king." it was taken to a 
temple where incense was oll'ered to 
it, and the officials nil prostrated 
themselves before It. This small rep- 
tile, scarcely six inches long, was 
placetl upon a Chinese, plate cover&d 
witli yellow paper upon which to lie,- 
antl a small piece of tiie same to cover 
it with. And then tiie mandarins 
again prostrated themselves before it, 
and then the people wore allowed to 
come land worship it. Theatricals 
were given yi honor of it. its appro- 
bation was shown by letting the head 
full, and its 'disapprobation ny throty- 
, ing its head-backward. .-O ne . of . l hs 

highest- officers in the empire, Lec- 
Hung-Chang, wbnt and paid it 
divine honors hy prostrating himself 
three times before it and knocking 
■his head nine times bn the ground. 
It is lo be lioped*that Lee, t li if* great 
man. lias learned a little corrrtuon 
j sense by this time — 1SS3 : but I nave 
! my doubts. • * ' * 

Two missionaries visited tins tem- 
ple and were admitted without any 
difficulty. Tiie temple was crowded 
almost day and night', and theatricals 
were being acted. These two men 
went uji a (light of steps an dint o tiie 
room where the:, shake, was kept. 
The robin was ytjry dark, hut they 
could see images at tiie other eud. 
Tiler, n werfc two tables. On the 11 rat 
was incense urns, candlesticks, etc., 
and soni’e forty or fifty dishes of fruit 
aud meats. On tile second wjts u 
tablet witli' an inscription on white 
paper— "Tiie Divine .Throne of tiie 
Golden Dragon King.." Jn front of 
tills lay tliedisli with.the littlS aiRtke. 
A large man .dressed ib.il Jfflf !l>bft 
stood near. As the two missionaries 
went up the steps, Home one from the 
crowd called out, “ Don t let Die 
Iragon filing’ see llid foreign devil 


tell tiie same story., Gambling is 
prevalent ttr a degree which gtihe r, 
quiet' people never dream of. it is 
practiced- ofteii, imieetl, in a. small 
way and for moderate stakes— by 
thousands ot -young* men in all ow?- 
cities ; practiced in tiie privacy of 
tticir rooms at their lodging-houses,- 
as well as in houses Tor "professional 
play. Employers little suspecL- 
ulas! fathers and mothers little sus- 
pect -wliut devilish mischief-is going 
on under tlie-cover of secrecy. -Many 
of the'larcenies committed ill stores, 
coiinling-roohis anti banks (some of 
which are “hushed up-" in order to 
save reputations) are committed in, 
order to cover lip the losses at the 
card-table. On tiie other hand, the 
illegitimate winnings at the same 
tables will account for tiie tine equi- 
page or showy turn-outs of certain 
last men whose legitimate income is 
too slender to maintain sucli extrava- 
ganci.' Gambling is a moral pest- 
ilence tliat “_walketh, in tiarlfiicss, 
and, therefore j its terrible prevalence 
eseapes.’publiti- blvioryatlon. II is uot 
decreasing. ■' 

Tliis perilous practice, winch so 
.often -becomes fatal-to character and 
to' the soul begins, just as drunk- 
•Vnesss ^Begins, witli playing witli 
fire. At the bottom of tile first glass 
of wine which the tippler tampered 
with lay an adder. 'Underneath the 
first dime that is ever thrown down 
in n game of ehauee is concealed a 
serpent. When a yoiiug man makes 
ills first bet, or puts up his first wager 
on a -match, or a race; or when he 
risks liiH first penny at a card-table, 
he puts a co'al of tiro into his bosom 
which is not easily 'extinguished lit. 
ma</ kimll"' into 5T eoUflftglWmiT , 
which, iu the tremendous language 
of Bcripturo, “will '.burn unto \\n* 
lowest hell.” The step tliat costs is 
tiie first step. .'Gambling fom penny

losses by •.‘corners,” "pools,” etc.,

word. Bondi trust it. A life ortjei-etl 
according to God's laws is notagame 
of chalice. Every dollar got by any 
other method than inheritance or 
honest industry makes you poorer. 
Let it alone; or it may eat into your 
soul like fire. The awful tragedy 
described at the opening of tills arti- 
cle began with the first dime laid 
down 'in a game of hazard.— New

they are frequently In tiie way of 
men being chosen unto honor. The 
vessels of wood anti stone are. regard- 
ed as vessels to dishonor. Refuse 
goes into them. Dirty ami common 
articles are kept in them until they 
become unfit for higher service. 
They.nbsorb taste, odor and impuri- 
ties from! what they, eon tain. A 
mackerel tub never loses irs mackerel 
taste. An earthen jug containing 
turpentine will hardly ever he tit for

" vessels to dishonor ” to hold slops

The youthful mind is apt lo retain

of sanctity or foulness will abide and 
affect all tliat shall lie taken in the

vast amount. One drop of turpentine 
will give its taste to a ban'll of water; 
so tiie llavor of a single act or habit, 
not outbroken itself, may, tjilnt the

In ls71 an officer was sent to see 
tin- coudltiou of the river bank and 
liring back an answer. He found a 
small hole in one of the dykes, and 
in this small' hole lie found a fish. 
This-was declared at once to he a god, 
atni it was decided useless to under- 
take to heal the breach thus ‘opened, 
as' it. was tlio will of heaven. The 
story, of the AhIi grew, aud it was 
soon declared there were two fishes 
that one had gone up the riven while 
the other remained at the. breach, 
ami tliat it wqulil he useless to do 
anything until tiie other .returned. 

A few- ilayH after tliis one of the 
officers of tiie city went in great 
pomp to make sacrifice .to a fabulous 
tortoise supposed to have grept power 
over the floods. The officer told of 
tiie great sutlerlngs of the people, and 
of the inatiy fruitless attempts to 
stop tiie breach, and then impored 
tiie god to allow them pow to. suc- 
ceed before any damage was done. 
They then set to work to repair tlio 
danm'ge; but soon all was swept 
away by tlio flood of waters. Tiie 
officer grew angry anil went again 1 to 
the god ; but on tliis occasion lie did 
not go to worship. Ho began to 
abuse the god ami placed cannon in

“Bid I not tell you we wanted you to

went the guns at tiie god, and after 
this Hje offlcerl feeling satisfied, re- 
turned to his home feeling he had

How Gambling Begins. 


A IMjAIN TAIJv with

CUYLEIt. D. IL 


is ill ub* 
of a 


How gambling often r "’/' 
trated by tiie recent sulfide 
young man of high social standing 
who wits well known in tiui -'-sport- 
ing ” liircles of New York. a, \M' er - 
ing with cards and tint ^oulette-talile 
bad aroused in him the same insane 
furor which tampering with the 
bottle arouses ill tiie victims of strong 
drink. Wo are told that tins wretch- 
ed young man married; hut j; 

marriage did not' cure him of wliatf 
had become a positive disease. Little 
gambling .parties in Ids rooms at the 
lintel and reckless,, plunging at tlio 
public tallies soon ran aWftjRwith all 
liis winnings anil witli the !g renter 
part of ills fortune besides. At, las , 

.. .i iw> fmiiul himself 


a few. mefnths ago, lie found 
ruined. His former friends fought 
sliv of' liftiiV and in a |>ltlably ^ de- 

Dressed frame of mind, lie said : IU

number is legZ. Vany of theniys- and &oF6 tl 


soul appetites. With the 'excitement 
of, a game of liaiard comes the strong 
temptation to risk a stake on tlio 
game: As soon as tiie first stake is 
daid down/ conscience goes with it, 
and literally tiie devil lias a hand 
williyyou in (lie game. Ho strong is 
tlieffascinatlou of tliis spell of sorcery 
thatVI liave seen— in the public “C’on- 
versazipu-lialle." of Baden Baden— 
well-dressed ladies-watcii tiie roulette- 
table until they became so bewitched 
with the play that they would furtive- 
ly toss a gold Nupoleon over on tile 
table from behind tiie crowd; the 
-" gambling element” in them had 
taken fire. Now just here lies the 
peril with you, my young friend; 
tlio -excitement of games of hazard 
sets you in a flame ; then comes a 
small stake; then a larger. If you 
win, you play to wiu more; if you 
lose, you play on to make up your 
-losses, Before you know it, you are 
a gambler. Tiie only Hate aud sure 
way is to stop before you begin. 

lint it is not only from curd-tables 
and faro-banks tliat mischief is -to be 
apprehended. .Jfliuiy young men are 
tempted- to “take a small .risk ” in 
mining stocks or other vulatile stocks 
tliat were playing up aud down in 
tiie market. I liave known a Half 
dozen mere lads to "pool” tlieir 
earnings or tlieir pocket money-in a 
venture. on a share or two of stock. 
This rage for dabbling in stpeks 
turns hundreds of young men into 
actual gamblers, although they would 
he shocked if tiie ugly name was 

J plied to them. , They are ' not 
jcked at the thing itself. Instead 
feeling tliat only tliQ money lion- 
ly earned is honestly, got, they are 
seduced into hazardous ventures, 
which, ill God’s sight, are aH genuine 
gambling as any tliat is perpetrated 
behind the locked doors of one of 
those " hells " that defy the laws. 

The dangers to young men are in- 
creasing from three causes. 1 , Tliere 
is a growing passion to get rich sud- 
denly and easily. 2. The gambling 
„ „ insinuating itself more 
of 6 tuRrtheTrade-of the eouu- 


we may eonsttmtly improve and 
learn to do well, that which we did 
ill or nor lit all tlie'ycar- before. But 
"wlio can understand his errors 
that lie may correct them ?. None, 
perhaps, b. or of himself. l" e

judicious . friends,, alone, can point

confidential 'Tricitd, know" in tins 
capacity only to himself, who shall 
kiudly'teHj4m of every fault seen- 
or heard of iii his character or con- 
duet. Let, us determine to improve. 

A faithful wife is a helpful critic; 
tint, as a part ue r, sh e is- natura lly 
partial, so that her offices lh till’s

results of fraternal correction. For 
lack of this in a fly. have dwindled 
.who should have been -growing, and 
zealous ministers have failed .ot an 
easy-possible measure of usefulness. 

If our field is a new one, it is not 
Wholly new. Human nature is mqclt

and otir blunders in another cliarge

Perhaps the peqple of that' circuit 
dread -ytm tis inTteh as you do tlieni. 
Thinkof Joirah and go. Think-, too, 
of how great a trust, lias been .com- 
mitted to you, even tliat of carrying 
the 'word iif salvation to m'eji who 


are perisliilig for lack of it. Think 
of wliat an infallible remedy you 
have for all tiie woes of man. 'But 
do you fear lest you may. not he able- 
to prove the Bible to .be true? That 
is not required of any. Infidelity 
rests upon negation/ naked and self- 
destructive, negation, unsupported hy 
any evidence. ' Let ua preach the 
Bible, and God will prove it true. 
•No iufldel can kufiw' anything about 
God except wliat the Bibmells him. 
The Bible furnishes no alignments to 
overthrow itself. We kffow the ex- 
cellence of its doctrines by experience, 

and challenge- the world to teat tlieir 
Truth by trial'. When setting out in 
life I studied medicine,' but did not 
enter upon tiie practice because I 
feared tliat, after learning all I could 
about the .science, tiie medicines I 
should prescribe might do tiie patiqnta 
w ho took them more harm than good. 
But I can procluim tiie gospel witli 
absolute certainty of its beuefloial 
results to. all wlio receive it. It is 
God’s riimedy for all human alule- 
tious, and it never fails. Yet'l may 
fail. Therein the danger lies. Wliat 
vast. and fearful responsibility rests 
upon a minister of Hie gospel. 

" ’Tis not ft CttUSt* of HDiftll import

' But wliftt might fill au angel'n heart, 

Arid rilled ft Saviour's hands.” 

What solemnly binding w,prds 
were those \yc heard, when we were 
set apaft as deacons or. elders : "Take 
thou authority to read thoAHOty 
Scriptures in the church of God, and 
to preaoli tiie same ;” aud "Be thou 
a faithful dispenser of the word of 
God aiid of his holy sacraments. 
O, that we could read! (). that, we 
could preach ! Whole sufficient for 
these things? Only those whom 
God endows with powiir from on 
high. God has greatly honored us 
“putting us in trust with the gospel." 
Tills world confers no title so honor- 
able as that of V. D. M., when it is 
worjthily worn. Let ministers mag- 
nify thelc office, «od saysjo ..ua, Go 


which thou liast lieuril o^ine

story called “NSliemlah’s Plan"— that 
is, as all Bible readers know, for every 
one to build opposite his own door. It 
is not a bad, plan. Try It. If your 
preacher is not aa eloquent and Impres-

fatidy it will belt) him to tell everyone 
you meet how,, had you.feel about It.* 
Don't' forget that as much depends upon 
tho eye . you seo things wltb, ajs upon 
the tilings themselves. Have you not 
heard people teTl how, when they were 
first eonv'erted, the trees and the fields 
and the hills seemed to rejoice with a

one else Is at the holm, whore you once 
were, that the vessql is going on the

wero better than these,” because you 
I had larger capacity for enjoyment, 
j There were not half so good. No man 
or woman over sixty, without a good 
deal of grace, can think tho world is ss

What Can We Do for Missions, 

nV ItK.V. C. WHJTMKItf 

Wlien you liave roail and hoard imridi 
about missions; when hooks amKptil- 
plt appeal to you to take tip thhy work, 
naturally you ask, What can' we do? 

(l.y Ym\ run become ilccjili/injercxtcil 
in inhsim i.i, arid without th* yoil...w)J/ 
do little else. 'Phis interest comosi part- 
ly from a study of the Bible! The Old 
Tosta'nreut, if rightly read A is full of 


gospels 

k, and the 
first mis- 


prophesies about the Overiu^tirig kitig 
dom which Is to cover the wl ole earth; 
and Is not the New Testamei t 
cally a missionary hook? Tli 
tell of the preparatory wor 
epistles are letters from the 
sionaries. I 

This Interest comes also largely froni 
reading the news from the Held. l»o 
you remember, twenty years ago mdn 
could hardly wait for th«< daily paper, 
to know h(.w tho war/ was KOHiK? 
What an earnest citizenship ! Hut shall 
wo have less .Interest inf regard to. the 
Lord's battle? Said oif old minister; 

I “I .rend t he iiewapapurk cli.letly to see. 
How Uod is governinlg the world. 
Why should not every I ‘hristiati iamily 
hate the church paper? Why should f 
hot a large majority have also a good , 
missionary paper? 

'1 hen, too, how many magazines are 
published, for general use, lof women, 
for childreh".. How many books ol mis- 
sionary biography, travel and history . 
fill the Sunday-school' rind family 
\ library with suclilnaUor.

it would lie very wrong to exclude

members of the cimrch, therefore, bap- 
tized children stand on the same piano 
with' adult and regenerate members' 
Thero is another perplexing question 
attending the reception of adults, who 
were baptized in infancy into the 
church. Why do wo again go through 
with the form of receiving them into 
tlio church if they wore inducted into 
tho church by baptism in infancy ? | 
Let it be understood that baptized chil- | 
Tlron are mombors of both the visible | 
and invisible church or kingdom until j 
they become individually accountable, 
and then they are no longer members 
nf tlie visible, unless they satisfy- anil 
confirm tlie vows publicly taken by 
llioir paronts in infancy, which act con- 
stitutes liietu adult members ol tlie 
visible cimrch of Christ. And tlioy are 
bo longer lifomhera. of the invisible 
oil li reli or kingdom, unless renewed in 
tlie tompor and spirit of their minds. 

it is quite possible, as I liav.o intl- 
.'niateil, for tliem to bo, mombors of tlie 
visible church without this ; hut not so 
of tho invisible kingdom. There aro 
dulios and obligations incumbent upon 
adult members which have 110 hearing 
( upon infant niembefs. Such, for. ex- 
ample, us repentance, faith ami olje- 
I (lienee. Whatever of these that ynuuy 
he required 'of cliildren must iie dis- 
, c.liargetl by tho paront. As parents 
stand in tlio same relation to their cljil- 
. dren that Ood dyos to us all, they aro 
required to teach tlieir Children these 
duties— to train them up in tho nurture, 
-rear and admonition of tlie Lord.

The following heuutiful figure, 
'Used by Bishop ( iranhery In a recent 
sermon-; is at otice striking and sug- 
gestive: 

(The perfect Archer calls the deer 
his own even before the shaft has 
gone .from his how. Oh ! that God 
may give us such faitli in the means 
that we are employing for the salva- 
tion of the. world. A faith to Olaini 
success and victory as ours, even be- 
fore we have reached it. 


On the seventeenth of December 
last the prohibitionists carried the 
town of Columbia by a vote -of thirty 
to ten. And on the twentieth ultimo 
four wards in the parish were carried 
'by a laige majority. Three wards 
.held no election, as no liquor is sold 
in either. So seven wards out of ten 
have already declared for prohibi- 
tion. Everything encourages the 
cause of reform., Thorough organiza- 
tion and zealous work will acWievea 
glorious triumph. We do not expect 
die millennium with the overthrow 
of tile liquor traffic, but we do look 
fo.ra great curse to be remo.yed, so 
that grace may more abound, and 
Scriptural holiness more rapidly 
spread over the earth. 

Another Episcopal clergymau haB 
emulated Dr. Heber Newton in his 
pronounced opposition to the ortho- 
dox view of the inspiration of the 
Scriptures— the Rev. Dr. llush, of 
Staten Island. The following, 'from 
the New York Sun, are wise words 
from an unexpected quarter, and 
our sister church would do well to' 
heed them : 

Is it not strange that the Epis- 
copal Church nermits the utterance 
in its pulpits of views regarding the 
Bible which under.nitne the very 
foundations ,of its theology? Take 
away faith in the Scriptures as the 
inspired, all-sufficient uipl unques- 
tionable word of God; and there re- 
mains nothing for tiiat theology to 
rest upon. Iteason has replaced 
faitli, and criticisiii lias supjVlahted 
devout belief in the written word.

No system;" iet , so' marvellously 
adapted to all conimiinities-aud all 
conditions of society as Methodism. 
Many suppose it eminently useful in 
pioneer work, but lacks the conserv- 
atism needed for older and denser 
populations. It is good fd t the coun- 
try, but fails in the cities. Those 
who so imagine evidence dense ignp 7 
ranee of history. The Loudon Meth- 
odist Recorder, of recent date, says: 

“ In no part of the United Kingdom 
has Methodism so grown in the last 
twenty-five years as in London.” 
Bight in the great metropolis of its 
birth, and where we would suppose 
the conditions of growth are most 
unfavorable for our itinerancy, tlie 
increase has been greutest. We only 
need to wisely work our wonderful 
system tp perpetuate the Pentecostal 
• glory of its early triumphs in old 
Fetter Lane, Moorfields, and on 
Kenuinglon Common. 

The (Schenectady Union New j

HU joy was unbounded in being 
able to look upon, the faces of his 
family again for the first tiffin ten 
years. He had never seen his grand-

Louisiana Conference. 

1 Tills* body met oil Wednesday of 
last week in tlie Caroiidelet Street 
Church'; Bishop II. It. Kavanaugh 
presiding. Nearly all the members 
| responded to tlie first roll-call, and 
1 quite a number of laymen. Most of 
| the brethren from the rural districts 
had the bronzed look of field service, 
and each had the step and expression 
iif courage and sclf-denlAl. Bbtfew' 
sections of our wide connection de- 
mand so much heroism and fortitude 
to cultivate as a large area of Louisi- 
ana. We honor tlie brave men who, 
amid untold ^lifficulties, have kept 
our Hag unfurled and preached a gos- 
pel of free and full salvation in all 
these lands. Their greeting of each 
other was most cordial. In no other 
body is there such an esprit dc corps 
as in au Annual Conference of Meth- 
odist! ministers. And these annual 
gatherings nerve to keep alive the 
warm attachment between comrades 
in a common cause. We condole 
with any preacher who Is bereaved 
of this amiUal’prlviIege. 

The devotional exercises of the 
opening session had the glow of a 
Ca nap-meet tug-. Buoh .fervent pray- - 
ingaml-hearty. singing we have rare- 
ly heard. It is well to stress the de- 
votional spirit in Conference deliber- 
ations. The morning worship should 
not he a mere form, hut have the 
genuine spirit and jower of true re- 
ligion. It gives a^ooil key-note to 
the day’s doings. Ambassadors of 
God, assembled to confer about the 
great interests of his kingdom, must 
keep prominent not only tlie Mas- 
ter’s business, but the Master’s 
| Spirit. 

The Conference organized by the 
eh'etlon iif Dr.-C. F. Evans as secre- 
tary end B. B. McCutchen, Esq., as 
statistical secretary. One of the first 
items of business transacted was the 
adoption of a resolution requiring a 
rearrangement of the roll of members 
according to seniority of admissloli, 
readmissiop or transfer into the Con- 
ference. Such an order lias hereto- 
fore not obtained. While the presid- 
ing elders were, nut preparihg-4Ue 
standing committees, 'Dr. DaVid 
Morton, secretary of the Church Ex- 
tension Society, was introduced, and 
addressed the Conference in behalf 
of that cause. It was a straightfor- 
ward, business-like talk, in the spirit 
of a man tremendously in earnest 
and wholjy absorbed in ills work. 
The General Conference acted wisely 
in laying an embargo upon his or- 
ganizing and executive brain, and 
calling him to the leadership of a 
new departure. Church extension 
is already one of our most popular 
collections, and soon wHl command 
the largest liberality of Wur congre- 
gations. We are especially desirous 
that the Loan Fund of $500,000 shall 
lie raised this Centenary year, and of 
this we have little doubt. Dr. Mor- 
ton intimated Hint 'some Centetfary 
donations’ were expected- to that 
fund that would at once astonish and 
thrill the whole church. Bo mote it 
speedily lie. The church extension 
.anniversary was held oil Wednesday 
night in . the spacious auditorium of 
Carondelet, with addreAies liy Bishop 
Kavanaugh and Dr. Morton. The 
collection for dip. year exceeded 
eleven hundred dollars, about seven ty 
per cent, of tlie assessment. 

Centenary College and Mansfield 
Female College were presented to 
the Conference in most excellent re- 
ports, the formerwritten by Bishop 
Keener, the latter by Dr. F. M. 
Grace. Centenary irf" having com- 
paratively a very prosperous term), 
with a larger graduadng T c]ass than 
has appeared .upon that platform 
since the war. President Bush is 
demonstrating more and more his 
eminent fitness for the position he 
occupies. ' Under all ,(he circum- 
stances Mansfield Female College Ik 
doing .remarkably well. After the 
shock and widespread effect of last 
summer's tragedy, many friends 
feared, that its halls could not be 
opened this term. But President 
Grace has evidenced great caution 
and wisdom, and already the college 
I has quite regained public confidence 
and favor. -That institution has had 
au honored history in North Louisi- 
ana Methodism, and is a real neces- 
sity amoug tlie conservative forces 
of our churcli'iii that vast and fruit- 
ful section. 

Bishop Parker occupied the chair 
from time to time, much to the 
gratification of his old Conference 
comrades. This was their first op- 
portunity of observing him in that 
capacity, hiH episcopate heretofore 
being exercised entirely in the Btate 
of Texas. He rules with diligence 
and dispatches business with east 
and accuracy. A Bishop off' duty at 
Conference must enjoy a comfortable 
, atfff comTflttb'eut' mind. lie has not 
the care of the appointments to tax 
liis'brain and sympathies, and often 
disturb the hours that should, be 
given to sleep. Possibly few of us 
appreciate how great is the strain 
upon a Bishop in endeavoring to 
make such disposition of our forces 
as best to conserve the interests of 


the church and not to afilict a single 
brother or liis family. Providence 
in the cabinet ^the secret of his wise 
decisions. 

The reports of the preachers, con- 
sidering the overflow and drought; 
from both of which Louisiana has 
suffered, were very creditable and 
encouraging. They had stood brave- 
ly at their posts, and worked with a 
zeal and ability that has been honor- 
ed of God. We know fio nobler type 
of manhood than a true, conscien- 
tious Methodist preacher. 

“.Missionary day,” conducted by 
Dr. Kelley, was an occasion long id 
be remefnbered. After the mission- 
ary treasurer’s report wns read he 
called out first the laymen and then 
the preachers to state the difficulties 
in the way of raising the collections. 
When these bad been given the doc- 
tor- took the platform; and- for an 
hour or more delivered one of the 
most practical, near chin;/, aggressive 
and earnest missionary addresses 
we ever.lieard. He made points and 
sharpened them. Never once did he* 
utter a venerable platitude. Some 
may difi'er and others object, but-the 
address Will -provoke thought and 

good worhsr-' ■ - — , — 

. The Centenary. Committee organ- 
ized, outlined their work for the year 
and appointed a wide-awake execu- 
tive committee. Dr. C. W, Carter 
was appointed to preach the Cen- 
tenary sermon before the next Con- 
ference. ■* 

On Saturday Bro. L. D. Palmer, 
business manager of the Publishing 
House, arrived fresh from the Florida 
Conference and at once proceeded to 
business. He was warmly welcomed, 
and found generous patronage in 
this body of marked ‘coiiuectioual 
loyalty. 

President Bush, of Centenary Col- 
lege, made an address, in behalf of 
that institution that awakfened a 
hearty response. His speech Was in- 
terrupted by au impromptu collec- 
tion of |20.0 for the purpose of susr 
taiuing a young licentiate who is 
there preparing for the itinerant 
work.

The Advocate, for 1884. 

Our patronizing Conferences have” 
all heid recent annual sessions, en- 
dorsed the business and editorial 
conduct of the Advocate, and 
pledged themselves to increased 
effbrt in extending its circulation. 
We are grateful. for expressions of 
confidence and appreciation, and en- 
ter upon the new year’s work with 
fresh inspiration and aspiration. It 
is our purpose-to glvtj all diligence to 
its several departments, and make 
the Advocate more and more a 
pastoral helper and home com- 
panion. Successful pastors write us 
that the paper is an efficient assist- 
ant in all local and cohnectlonal en- 
terprises. Every siich testimony is 
an additional argument in favor of 
increased circulation. What benefits 
the few ought (o bless the many. 
With an Advocate in every Meth- 
odist family au upward movement 
would 1 be, given to the church, the 
results of which eternity alone can 
compute. 

DuringtliUOentenary year special 
attention will he given to the pecu- 
liar doetrlnes that have character- 
ized our Methodism and the record 
of God’s signal mercies to us as a 
church for the past hundred years. 
Scraps of local history will be pub- 
lished, indicating the measure and 
character of growth in different com- 
munities. And here we would sug- 
gest the appointment of u local Cen- 
tenary Committee in each pastorate,' 
who shall he specially charged with 
this work. At tlie Centenary mass- 
meeting in May or October this his- 
tory might be read, and then care- 
fully preserved for some future his- 
torian. 

We invite correspondence, hut ask 
thgt due attention be had to the 
virtueof condensation. Short articles 
command readers, while long ones 
are passed over wKh a single glance 
at the head-line and subscription. 
Occasionally a brother writes that he 
Is aware his communication exceeds 
proper limits, but he could not ab- 
Ineylatet, without affecting the 
strength or continuity of his argu- 
ment. Iu nearly all hucIi cases the 
argument is never read. A reputa- 
tion for prolixity is fatal to -a news- 
paper correspondent. A very esteem- 
ed 1 friend and brother minister told 
us he had never preached but one 
long sermon in his life, hut unfortu- 
nately that was his first, knd it gave 
him a reputation for pulpit endur- 
ance. Verbum sap. ■ 

Short communications, if accept- 
able, can always be utilized. But 
longer ones, however worthy, have 
to be reserved or consigned to the 
waste-basket. We do not promise 
t h e' publication of everything sent. 
Our best judgment must decide its 
adaptability to the wants of our read- 
ers. The non-appearance of an article 
is no impeachment of its worthiness. 
It might be very acceptable to an- 
other character of paper or to the 
"Advooatk at another time. Home- 
limes a little offense is unavoidable 
TStttipg coaunuaisatioR, but net 


unfrequently a writer has cause to 
thank au editor for such decision. 
Bfit we wgnt the brethren to' write, 
aud keep our columns sparkling 
with good news from the churches. 

' We commence the year 1884 under 
more favorable auspices tha.tr when 
, we balled the first morning of 1883. 
Wo bade .farewell to the old year 
with some feelings of gratulation. 
It was with tlie safer rejoicing of 
him who takes q(T the harness after 
successful conflict. The Advocate 
now gops into twenty-five hundred 
more homes, than a year ago. We 
have appreciative readers hot only, in 
every Southern. State and in every 
State where Southern Methodism 
has been planted, but in twelve 
Northern States, besides the follow- 
ing foreign countries; Flngland, Ire- 
land, Scotland, Turkey, China, 
Central America and Mexico. This; 
Is a large constituency. May it be 
more than doubled before we go up 
to Baltimore lo celebrate the Cen- 
tenary of 'the old Christmas Confer- 
ence, that determined tjie organic 
life of American Methodism, With 
many tbankB for the favoTs of the 
past, from God and the church, we 
look out upou tlie-laborftanil reapon- 
sibilities of a new year. 

Report of Trustees of Centenary College, 
of Louisiana. 

To the president and members of^ 
the Louisiana Annual Conference, 
the trustees of Centeuary College, of 
Louisiana, would respectfully re- 
port : 

That during tlie past year this in- 
stitution lias hail as good attendance 
upon the regular college course as at 
auy time since the war,. Thai large 
numbers of Htudenta have from the 
beginning of this college attended its 
halls wlio, though tliey have but 
partfiilly completed the regular 
course, yet have received a good 
education. V _ : • 

The faculty lias been strengthened 
by the election of l'rof. Harrison to 
the clmir of mathematics. The at- 
tendance was large at the last eom- 
lUAljcehieut, and the speeches and 
scholarship of the graduates were as 
creditable to the college as those of 
any previous class. 

The west whig of the college lias 
b.een repaired throughout one story, 
and other repairs are still going on. 
The facilities offered by the institu- 
tion to young m eh who desire an 
education are unusually good. The 
trustees believe that the cost of tui- 
tion, hoard, washing, room relit, fuel 
and lights is less. than at any other 
(lotlcge in the Southern States. Tliey 
have had occasion to compare this 
cost with oilier colleges of tlie Meth- 
odist Episcopal ClTUVcli, Sputh, ail'd 
believe that the year’s entire.' ex- 
penses are nowhere put at so low a 
figure, say $175 for everything. This 
lias been secured by the devotion of 
the faculty' to their work at scarcely 
■ living rates, in the hopes that by-' 
and-by a more remunerative attend- 
ance upon their instruction would 
set in from both - Mississippi and 
Louisiana. ~ 

The board believes that Centenary 
College is doing a good work for 
Methodism iu the Southwest, and 
has been lurgely useful in preserving 
the labors of men who have gone to 
their reward by maintaining the 
reputation of the church as a teacher 
of youth. The college remains as a 
monument of tlie Centenary 1, sub- 
scriptions and public spirit evoked 
from the Methodism of 1839, in be- 
half of higher" education. It ljolds 
iu its walls and history the memory 
of McGeheC, WinaUs, Lane, Bur- 
rows, and a host of noble spirits who 
labored.to establish it and give it to 
the church, ub au expression of their 
gratitude to God, for the rise uud 
work of WeHleyau Methodism. 
While many.moniiments have crum- 
bled aud yielded up their charge; 
this, tliauks be to God, abides. After 
the war it survived to find that its 
enJCwiment had . vanished ; ' but 
friends were, again raised up who 
started it upon a new career of use- 
fulness. Mr. Edward J. Gay, Mr. 
William It. Stuart, Mr. May, of 
Richardson & May, Dr. B. H. Moss, 
by lestament, were those who con- 
tributed ,the largest sums. Many 
others gave of their -poverty. The 
buildings, were repaired aud the 
halls opened. Since then numbers 
of young men have received an edu- 
cation who but for Centenary would 
have failed to receive one. 

The trustees are grateful for the 
educational collection ordered by 
both the patronizing Conferences, 
and believe this to he a valuable sup- 
plement if the preachers will bring 
it faithfully before their congrega- 
tions. 

It .is to be. hoped that the two Con- 
ferences and the Methodists of Mis- 
sissippi and Louisiana will in this 
coming Centenary year hcknowledge 
the claims of this venerable institu- 
tion upon tlie church, and give to it 
jo mean share of the off erings which 
may be made In gratitude to God for 
our common Methodism. It is ask- 
iug nob too much that it receive at 


(MUUWf 17, 1M4. 


least fifty thousand dollars from this 
source? In conclusion the board 
prays that the H$>IJr Spirit rtiay move 
the Louisiana Conference to devise 
liberal things for her first-born insti- 
tution of learning, if it be not the 
very oldest of ail tlie colleges iu- the 
Southern. connection. 

Very respectfully,

I bad tlie pleasure on the sixth in- 
stant of listening to a liistorical and 
highly instructive centennial dis- 
course by the Rev. Thomas C. Wier, 
presiding eldei; of the Columbus dis- 
trict, ’.North Mississippi Conference, 
iu the Methodist Church in this 
| place. His text was: "Behold how 
great a matter a little lire kindleth.” 
-James Hi, 6, Without ftny refer - 
euce to the connection of the text , 1 
he commenced by stating that the 
Unit Sunday in January, 1S84, had 
teen designated by the Central Cen- 
tenary ^Committee as the time for 
preaching a centennial sermon, lie 
then briefly referred to the centen- 
| uial of the organization of Methodist 
societies in England in 173fi,^<7f-Un? 
centennial of the’ first Methodist 
preaching in .America in 1770, and 
then of the present centennial year, 
commemorative of. the organization 
of the Methodist Episcopal Church 
iu Baltimore In I7&4, by Dr. Coke 
and Bishop Asbury, and that the 
wise plgu adopted of a general epis- 
copal oversiglit of the whole church, 
thatof presiding elders over districts, 
an itinerating ministry, and Quar- 
terly Conferences and Annual Con- 
ferences, all combined and working 
harmoniously, constituted the great 
factor iu the hand of God iu giving 
“uch unparalleled success to the 
Methddist Church, lie also spoke of 
the doctrines 4 of .the Methodist 
Church tiH being nothing new or 
fanutiyal, hut in accordance with the 
Plain teaching of the Holy Scrip- 
turea. His statistical account of- the 
Methodist 'Church Jn the United 
blates, Canada, England and other 
countries was edifylug' and, even 
Mtouishjug to those not informed on 
that subject. Ills remarks on tlie 
doctrines of the Methodist Church 
wan listened to with deep interest. 
•Us closing remarks were on what 
was hoped for, aud confidently ex- 
pected to he accomplished this cen- 
tennial year, tlie most important~Bf 
whicii was a general revival of re- 
'IIkUiii, pure ahtl uudeflied. During 
his remarks he referred to how tlie 
term Methodist originated, not , be- 
cause Wesley acted- In all he did 
facthodically, or that method iu all 
tliiugs is a pari of religion, hut as a 
term of reproach. Tills refhark set 
your correspondent to thinking of 
tlie many reproachful epithets ap- 
plied to Christ while on earth, still 
Christianity lives. Many reproach- 
ful epithets were applied to Wesley 
■tud his followers, still Methodism 
lives; and now, from that little tire 
“hulled into a flame in 1730, by the 
I ttLu rP,»! John. Wesley, the church

. Iu a letter to tlie St. Louis Chris- 
tian Advocate. the Rev. M. B. Chap- 
man, of the Missouri Conference; 
thus refers Jo His recent short visit to 
New Orleans. He is in error about 
the representatives from Alabama 
being present at the meeting of our’j 
l’ublishing Committee. From its 
birth to a few years ago tlie Alabama 
was onq of our patronizing Confer- 
ences, but lias now transferred her 
olllclal affection to another excellent 
organ bearing her own name and 
published at Birmingham. Bro. 
Chapman says: , 

My stay in New Orleans was neces- 
sarily brief, hut I took time to call at 
the Advocatk office’. There I found 
tlie Publishing Committee, consist? 
ing of representatives from the 
Louisiana, Mississippi-,— North Mis-

ganization iu this Oit.v, which a

The teadersof the Advocate have 
already "been informed of the Calam- 
ity that bus befallen ‘Dr. C. G. An- 
drews, Viz : tlie loss by tire of all bis 
household goods, including tlie. cloth- 
ing of himself and family, and also 
liis library. Concerning this last 
item iu the sad chapter, r desire to 
say a word. 

To a minister hooks are indispens- 
able ; they are the tools of ills trade. 
This fact is not so generally appre- 
ciated as it should tie; al least not iu 
Methodist circles. Stewards, in Ax- 
ing flie salary of the preacher, do not 
usually, as they should invariably 
do, include an estimate for the pur- 
chase of books. Hence, ordinarily, 
" tlie wherewith ” to procure hooks 
is obtained by tho practice of rigid 
self-denial on tlie part of the inmates 
Qf tlie parsonage. The minister’s 
wife aud children do without many 
tilings which they need am} ought to 
have, and the whole faintly live ab- 
stemiously, in order that a few 
needed hooks may be added to the 
library. Hence the loss of his library 
Is to the minister a most serloipr 
all’alr. How is that loss to he' re- 
paired? Out of present salajy? 
Alas! that salary ’provjdCs for a i 
inn only ; It contains no estimate for

1 imahle value to many who limy see

physicinn anff he ndvisotl me to try 
little’ chemical food, or a bottle of hypo- 
pbospliHit-H. I took two or three bottles 
of the chemical, food with no apparent 
benefit. My lassitlide aud indisposition 
seemed to increase, my food distressed 
me. I hu tiered from neuralgic pains in 
different parts of mv v7 body, my muscles 
bbeame sore, niy bowels were consti- 
pated, apt} my prospects for recovery 
'wore not very Haltering. I stated mv 
case to another physician, ail(L he ad- 
vised me to* take tivo to ten drops of 
Magende’s solution of morphine, tvyo 


are as far removed as possit>le from I or three times a day, for the weaktioss

^'SoM KtlllNu To A\ l oin.— Avoid the 
scolding tone. A tired mother- may 
find it hard to do this; but it| is she 
•wlio will get most good by observing 
the -rule. The tone of scolding wears 
upon the throat, just where the woman, 
who i* not over strong is apt to feel the 
ache of extreme fatigue. The children, 
too,* who are great imitators, will be 
snre to catch the scolding tone, ami will 
talk to their dolls, to one another, and 
by-and-by to. their own* children, very 
jiitich as their mothers are now talking 
to them. .Jly all means. avoid this bad 
atone, allyou who govern others.* " 

Tiie^EIot Wajeh Hkmkpv.— A t the 
present ‘-moment the fashionable cure 
for dyspepsia is hot water, which, aHer 
all, is only an old fashion rex ived. 
London News commenting upon this, 
says that the hot water treatment is 
taketr externally- in London tvs a-coa* 
rnetic aud internally in America for the 
stomach.. «.nd that as ‘aiding propaganda 
.•sin jvogreas. • 


Ai’l’LK Slvm r. — One quart Hour silted 
with oue mess'll fe each of acid and soda 
. or two heaping teaspoon t\j Is acid ami 
one moderately heaping teaspoonful 
soda i of Horsford’s -Bread* Preparation ; 
shorten with one teaspoohful , butter 
rubbed into the tiour. Mix with cold j 
milk or water, the same as for biscuit. , 
Ef ut two (juarts of paro<l, sliced orq.uar- .

•thick, cut into quarters and* with it. 
oover the apples in the dish j then 
cover the whole with a close- lifting 
cover, and . boil or steam jtill done. 
Taka out on a platter and grate nutmeg

or sugar and cream. 


and distress in my stomach, and a blue 
pill every other night to relieve tlie 
constipation. The morphine produced 
such a deathly nauHea that 1 could not 
take it* and the..blue pill tailed to relieve 
mv constipation. 

In this, condition I passed nearly a 
year, \v holly unfit for business, while 
the effort to think was irksome and 
painful. Mv blood became impover- 
ished, and 1 suffered from incapacity 
with au appalling sense of misery and 
general apprehension of coming evil'. 

I passed sleopl(Jy» nights and was 
troubled with irregular action of the 
heart, a constantly fovorish condition 
and the most excruciating tortures in 
1113’* stomach, living for days on rice 
water and gruel, ami, indeed, the diges- 
tive futicUons seemed to beentirely de- 
stroyed. ^ t . 

It was natural that'whiln in this con- 
dition I should become hypochondrical 
and fearful suggestions of selt-destruc- 
tion occasionally 'presented theniHelves. 

I experienced an insatiable desire for 
sleep, "but on retiring would lie awake 
for a long time tormented with troubled 
reflections, and when at last I dkl lall 
iiLLo an uneasy slumber of short dura- 
tion, it was disturbed by horrid dreams 
In this' condition 1 determined to t>ak< 
a trip to Europe, but in spite of all the 
attentions of physicians and change of 
Jif’.ene and climate, I did not improve 
anti so returned home with uo oarthly 
hope of ever again boing able tt) leave 
the house. . 

Among the numerous friends that 
called on me was out' who had been 
afflicted somewhat similarly to myself, 
but who had been restored to perfoct 
health. Upon his earnest recommen- 
dation I began the same treatment he 
had etnploved, but with little hope of 
being benefited. At first 1 experienced 
little, if any relief, except that it did 
not distress my stomach as other reme- 
dies or o\ ; en-Yood had done. 1 contin- 
ued its use, however, and after tho third 
bottle could see a marked change for 
tho better, and now after the fifteenth 
bottle 1 am happy to state that I am 
again able to attend to my prol<*ssional 
duties. 1 sleep well, nothing distresses 
me that V oat, t go from day do day 
without, a feeling of weariness or pain, 
indeed J am a well man, and* wholly 
I through tlie influence of II. H. Warner

Hebv0 


Dblicioi'k Sour. — Iioil a ainsll cup ol 
riee in a little oi*er a nuart of milk. 
Boll until it is so anft tlmt it will pass 
through a hieve with hut little elVort on 
your part. •Grate tlie nicely bleached 
parts of the heads of celery, and add to 
the strained rice ; add to'this one (juart 
of strong beef stock,- or-that made from 
inutton.^or veal may be used ; it should 
be strained, and be dear anil iree from 
lumps when it is put in' with the ricS. 
Let this boil until the celery ia tender. 

< Seasbu with a dash of cayenne pepper, 1 
or a little curry powder, arid plenty of | 
salt. If it is dlmt!Ult_to obtain celery i 
when you wish to have this soup, celery 
salt may be used, or even celery Heed 
or extract. • 

Mutton Broth.— A superior mutton 1 
broth may he made by attending to the \ 
following directions : —To four quarts 
of water put ope pound of pdarl barley ; 
and a tablespoonfiil of salt yii a close- 
fitting pan ; boil this for two hours 
quickly; it will, then lie of /the consis- 
tency of thick cream ('then /add vegeta- 
bles, namely, dided carrdts, turnips, 
onions, celery, white cabbage sliredu ; 
boil until tender, then add the mutton 
stock (this can he made from mutton 
and veal bones, i well strained and 
skimmed of the fat. This is an excel- 
lent soup for invalids arid children. 


Graham Custard Pik':— Funny and 
good. One quart of milk, two eggs, 
half a cu p of sugar, half a cup of Graham 
dour. Beat the eggs and stir all lo- 

f ether. The Graham flour sinks to the 
ottom of the pie disli as the custard j 
bakes aud forms a good crust. It may 
appear to he soaked, as custard pie- 
c rust often is, hut it is not in the least 
“clammy.” It dissolves '‘easily in the 
mouth and is entirely digestible. A 
pleasant cream, pie is made from the 
same recipe, leaving old the eggs aud 
using creamy milk or thin-cream. 

Fon vhk Fowls.— L ay in a lot. of 
road dust. When we say road dust we 
do not mean roekH and clam shells. 
Keep it perfectly dry.' Put it aside 
for winter use. Have two or three 
’ cheies boxes whloh dll . dual. 

Pat these boxes where the sun cau 
warm the dust. The hens will get 
down in the dust. aud kill the insects 
■ on them. 


I remedy as taking the highest possible 
rank in the treatment of all diseases 
marked by debility, loss of appetite, 
and all other symptoms of stomach 
and digestive disorders. It is over- 
whelmingly superior to the tonics, bit- 
ters, and dyspepsia cures of the day; 
and Is certain to he so acknowledged 
by the public universally. Thousands 
of people to-day are going to-premature 
graves with those serious (llsijases, that 
I have above described, and to all such 
I would say; “ IOo not lot your good 
judgment bo governed by your preju- 
dices, but give the above named remedy 
a fair and patient trial, and I believe 
I you will not only be rowarded by a 
I perfect restoration to health, but yen 
I will also be convinced that the medical 
profession does not possess all the 

i knowledge there is embraced In meqi- 
I cal science.''

It Is this lant that fimilsbeslthe key 
for the preparation for Journalism. 
Rhetorical- studies are important, 
mental and moral philosophy, lan- 
guage and the art ol .composition. 
Peivinanship must be mastered, legi- 
bility and speed rather then graco 
being cultivated. A knowledge of gen- 
eral history, and of the history and 
political institutions of' our own coun- 
try, is - very important. Familiarity 
with, the principles of business, „with 
the terrtiH used in the different profes- 
sions, with „tbq leading names of tho 
present and past generations ; facility 
in the use of cyclopedias, histories, dic- 
i tionsries, books of statistics, and s 
thorough acquaintance, with tho United 
States census, are all of the greatest 
value. Tlie memory must bo trained ;
